Hi, doesn't change anything. I've tried all sorts of parameter combinations - but all I get is a "expression error". As if the server wouldn't have its "revdb.so" & so would not recognize the db functions. But they're in the appropriate directories, and I even tried to chmod 755 them. Is there a way...

Hi, just to clarify: I want a LC Server, running on a Linux server as CGI processor, to connect to a mySQL on this same Linux server. The mySQL works fine, I can easily connect to it via PHP. The LC server works fine, I can throw all kinds of scripts at it & it replies faithfully. My connection stri...

Hi, (just see Klaus was faster. I'll post my stuff anyways.) a few hints: 1.) If you compose a post, look at the icons above your text input field: "</>" will wrap the selected text in "code tags": it will look like this then ;-) Much more easy to read, and comprehend. Thus much more easy to help. 2...

Hi,

"revdb_connect" and "revOpenDatabase" are equivalent.
I prefer the "revdb_*" versions because they're all functions, and because they all share a significant beginning.

Have fun!

Hi,

btw: works on Android, too :)

In my case (location disabled, not @ city central, so no known WIFIs) it returns the same quite far off location as on desktop.

Have fun!

Edit: Added location info

Hi, I don't have a win10 box to test on anymore, so maybe I'll put a disclaimer on it that Windows results may be "iffy" hee hee. Win 10-64 pro (21H1), LC 6.7.10 & 9.6.2 rc3 both: put shell("curl ipinfo.io") gives the info as mentioned by others, location is about 10km off. put shell("curl ipinfo.io...

Hi, there's something I'm doing wrong. What is it? <?lc put revdb_connect("mysql", "localhost", "DBName", "DBUser", "DBPassword") ?> This should return a connectionID, right? Not: Function: error in function handler (revdb_connect) If I do a "try" I get ErrNums 219 and 223 (Error in expression/ func...

Hi, looks like they use a geolocation API. This may give good location data on a mobile with calibrated GPS, but will usually give an awfully wrong location for a desktop machine. It looks for GPS first. If there's none, it will try to find the loc based on charted WIFIs in the area. If this fails t...

Hi, dunno if it helps you, but that's the code I use for stack switching on mobile: set the effectRate to gPrefArr["visEffSpeed"] lock screen for visual effect go cd 1 of stack theTargetStack in the window of this stack unlock screen with visual effect gPrefArr["visEffUp"] very slow I assume the var...

Hi, Have been advised to delete the preferences but I'm a bit scared, I'll wait for some other suggestion or try other options. :) Deleting the prefs is no big deal. Restoring the old setting is quickly done, usually. For some strange reasons LC seems to corrupt the prefs in quite regular intervals,...

Hi, guess we'd need to know: What do you get with: get URL ("binfile:" & firstPartOfSourceURL & "Handlerexec.asmx") An excel file? This would be easy. Second question: . Where should this go to? Doesn't: put it into URL ("binfile:" & firstPartOfTargetURL & TargetFileName) do the job already? Have fun!

Hi, Very often the use of PDFs is questionable, IMHO - the PDF format was meant as a read-only, digital version of a printed page. There's quite some use cases where it actually makes sense - the digital transmission of documents (in a legal sense), for instance. Most often, though, a PDF isn't more...

Hi, I am using the dispatch command eg: (dispatch "TurnButtonRed" to card 1), but it gives a ( Chunk: no such object ) error. However, it works if I specify the path of the object to it's own card within the card's script. ---This code on card 1 doesn't work when using the dispatch command from card...

Hi, all tests was done on the same shared server @ All-Inkl.com. My own local Ubuntu server has been retired - getting CGI to work in my available time was too difficult a task. Seems if you read 3 specific Linux how-to's you learn 4 different "solutions", and quite often none of it applies ;-) As f...

Hi, What is the complete script? I used " put $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"] " (LC) resp. " echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; " (PHP) for my test. [...] it may be helpful to run the test I noted above in the IDE to get a better feel for what that particular test is - and isn't - showing us. You mean this one? ...
